One of the 12 founding families, the Sozas of Moru Kel were led by Taresh Fa Soza. Taresh was the third eldest of the wealthy Fa Soza family of Ma-Abi, wealthy cobalt miners and traders. While Taresh remained on good terms with the Fa Sozas, his grand-daughter the Sahra Nitesh refused the elder houses’ demand that she return to their ancestral home to marry a Domese nobleman. The fallout was bitter, with Sahra Nitesh altering the Moru Kel family’s name to simply “Soza”.
The Soza family were historically among the wealthiest in the city, dominating much of the granite trade. The discovery of rose stone upended things, and Sahar Marsan invested much of the family’s wealth in a fruitless search for his own vein of the material. While they remain wealthy by normal standards (and have a steady if unimpressive income from their granite and marble quarries), their stature is much diminished. Marsan’s son Sahar Jymon is the current ruler of the house, and often takes stances at odds with the Tukari.
